People change teams all the time. People might not go from Green Bay to Chicago or from Chicago to Green Bay all the time, but people change teams all the time.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
A guy like Drew Brees is a guy that knows how to undress a defense. Most of the time he knows where he's gonna go before he even gets the ball. So he's ready to deliver that ball almost as soon as it comes to his hands.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
When you get into the game, you're trying to win games. So you want your best players out there.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
You think about it sometimes. I try not to think about it too much. You think about you can't play forever.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Basically, if I decide to retire I don't want it to be one of those situations where, you know, after a couple of months I have the itch to play again. That's not something I want to do. I want to put a lot of thought into it and make the final decision. I don't want to waver on it at all.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
As a pass-rusher, 100 sacks is a big milestone. My 100th sack was on Joe Webb.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
If my play is not to run and chase the ball, if my play is to stay backside, then I've got to stay backside. I've got to be disciplined. I can't run across the field and chase stuff that's not mine.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
You know, I think sometimes certain players - and I don't name names - but certain players have a certain haircut, they have certain sack celebrations. They draw a lot of attention to themselves.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I was never focused on winning individual awards. I just tried to help the team out and do all that I could do.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Every game, well most of them, come down to turnovers and the turnover battle.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
You need a certain type of balance in life and I know where to put football in its proper place. But my love for the game, I have it just like everybody else. If you don't, you're going to get yourself hurt out there.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I love the game just as much as anybody else. But at the same time, I also understand that life is more than football, too. People might get that misconstrued sometimes, too, that I don't care because I'm not die-hard football, eat, sleep and drink it all day and all night.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
That one thing that people say about me taking plays off, I feel like somebody said that when I was playing in college and it has followed me throughout my career. Because I feel like if we had the film and you wanted to pick one person who was taking a play off on a particular play, you could pick anybody.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Obviously, we know people aren't as fortunate and blessed as we are. I learned a little bit about the impact we have as professionals, and how we can help, how impactful it is for just your presence.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I guess more than anything, Green Bay just felt like home. You know, small town, good people who love their football... it was a really great experience being a part of that culture.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I was sad to leave Green Bay, and I don't think I would have left to go anywhere but home to Carolina.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
At the end of the day, the wins are the wins and the losses are the losses. But the relationships are everything.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I was lucky because growing up in tiny little Bailey, North Carolina, we had a satellite dish, so we got WGN. Which meant we got almost every Bulls game.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I'm thankful that I have been able to play so long and still be healthy. I'm not all banged up and beaten down. I still feel good. But as much as I would love to play forever, I know that I can't.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Seventeen years is a long time to be playing this game. It's two careers for a lot of people.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
How can you say you want to be somewhere when you're not really sure if they want you there because they're not even talking to you?
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Sometimes, you're on the field, you get tired. If I'm not playing as hard on play 66 as I was on play number 1, then... come on.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
If the opportunities are a little limited, then you've got to try to find a way to make something happen the best way you can.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I want to try to execute my role to help the team in the best way possible.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Sometimes you've got to just dig down deep and be accountable for the role that you have on the team.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I wouldn't change a thing about this journey. It was the best teacher I've ever had and was everything I could've hoped for.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
You ask somebody right now who are the top two or three sack persons and they couldn't tell you. You're a professional and you want to perform and you want to achieve those goals. But being out with the people and giving back to the community, it's going to be more impactful and long lasting.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
The tough times never lasted and the tough people inspired me to be better and give more. I hope I did the same.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
Bears fans... man... I could not have chosen a better place to make my first stop outside of North Carolina.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
I live on a small town on the lake, and I mean people would get on their jet skis and just post up in front of my crib, trying to see who was there in my house.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
If you're playing 55 to 60 snaps, you have opportunities to pace yourself, pick spots. When you're not playing as many and you don't know necessarily when you're going to be in, you do have to sometimes make it happen when you're out there.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
The Super Bowl ring eluded me, but I don't need that to validate me. I would have loved to have helped deliver that to the fans in Carolina, but I'm content with the career that I had.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
After considering the ways that I might be able to help young college students, I decided to continue my support of the Light on the Hill scholarship. I would like to endorse this particular fund and encourage other former UNC students who have found success to reach back and assist the efforts of current and future Tar Heels.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
It's one thing to play football in this league and make a living, but it's a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Bears.
Quote by -Julius Peppers
A lot of people don't really understand that a statistic is an indicator, but it doesn't really give the full picture of the body of work. There's been time when I've had one sack or no sacks and controlled a whole game, and I've seen other cats get three or four sacks and it had no effect on that game.
